Back in the day, Titleist was a small company making some pretty sweet clubs for a select group of people. As Tiger became famous, the popularity of whatever sort of clubs he would play fueled the resurgence of the forged blades back into the golfers arsenal. Of course, this is strictly my opinion, although it's what happened to me.
When I was playing in high school I wanted to get a set of Titleist blades. The only catch? They didn't sell them to the general public. Hummmmm.... EBAY! I went online and looked around for months before I found a nice set, in good condition, at a reasonable price. Around that time, I believe they had a similar set, that was new, from Japan. But it carried a price tag close to 1k. And I couldn't afford that. Instead of getting a new set of Mizuno MP-29s, which are very nice, I decided to go with the very same clubs you see below.
Notice the way the "e" is written in the back of the club head. It's capitalized!
I have to pay homage to these clubs, as they saw me break par for the first time. Sadly, when I went to re-shaft them to fit my tall stature, the swing weight increased dramatically to something like an E4 (normal is D2 or something around there). So I had to give them up, and get the 990s.
Scotty Cameron is a genius. There, I said it. Take a look at Tiger. He's sponsored by Nike from head to toe, every club in his bag has been made specially for him, but when it comes down to the final round on Sunday, and the cameras are zooming in to see the back of his putter as he strikes a put to force a playoff for the US Open, what sort of putter is he using? Titleist Scotty Cameron.
One of the great things about Titleist is their dedication to quality. When you buy a new set of Titleist irons, you can be sure they will last you for years to come. People who own Titleist take care of their clubs and that's why you shouldn't be hesitant to buy a used set. Technology has been advancing so rapidly over the past few years we haven't had time to stop and smell the roses. That set of clubs that came out two years ago is still great, and now is the perfect time to pick up a set at a deep discount! Take a look at all of the great opportunities to own a used set of Titleist golf clubs on eBay!

Bob Vokey is a master at his craft -- designing killer wedges with classic lines, true feel, and timeless elegance. Wow, I sound like a commercial. Maybe Titleist should hire me... Anyway, besides Cleveland wedges, Vokey wedges by Titleist are by far my favorite chipping and pitching tool. I use a 56, 60, and 52 depending on the course. Sometimes I bust out the 58 or a 54. I've got them all and yes, I've got them in nickel.
Take a look at the Vokey website for a little bit more information about the master craftsman
Bob Vokey is a genius. I don't know him personally, but I know his work quite well. Having played golf for a long, long time -- and having used his wedges pretty much exclusively -- I can tell you that this man and his company are a true asset to the game of golf. They show tremendous craftsmanship with every wedge, advanced understanding of design, and a true dedication to traditional styling. Whether you want an oil-can finish, copper, nickel, or stainless -- each wedge is a masterpiece.
DryJoy, FootJoy. These are by far the best shoes on the market. Screw Etonic and Nike. If you want some traditional shoes that just seem to kick ass, these are the ones for you.
This is the 1st cousin of the Pro V1, basically the same ball with a slightly different cover. Somehow, they say that this ball is better in every way to the V1, but I'm not so sure. I've used both and I happen to like them both equally.
Let's start with the staple golf ball of the 21st century. The Pro V1 is basically the industry standard among playing pros because it feels great, goes long, and has very high durability. When you think about how far the golf ball technology has come in just the last few years, it's amazing to this how great this ball is compared to what preceded it: The Tour Balata and Professional (both terrible).
It's a really respectable golf ball. You wouldn't have expected it to be so much better than the tour prestige, but it is. I would play this ball all day long. The good thing about this one, when compared to its counterparts, is that it costs a bit less and last longer, but you aren't really compromising on any part of your game. It's a good choice.
If you're playing a ball with the words Extreme in the title, I think we know what you're after. You want to hit the crap out of the ball, and hey, who am I to stop you. Go for it. Grip it and rip it! I don't know much about this ball, but I'm sure it's good enough.
